ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The suspected driver of a stolen car that crashed on the city’s northeast side during a chase on Tuesday afternoon is still fighting for his life.
New York State troopers say four people were hurt in the crash, the driver and two passengers in the stolen car and the driver of another car.
The chase started when troopers tried to pull over the minivan on Joseph Avenue at around 2 p.m. Police say Austin Scaife was driving a stolen Hyundai when it crashed into a car and a tree at the intersection of Nester and Klein streets. Scaife now has life-threatening injuries. An ambulance rushed him to Strong Hospital.
His two passengers had minor injuries and the other driver, a 57 year old, was treated for injuries but didn’t go the hospital. We’re working to learn more about potential charges.
